About CASE

Founded in Spring 2008, Consultants Advising Student Enterprises (CASE) is Northwestern University’s oldest student-run consulting organization. We provide pro-bono consulting services to a diverse range of clients—from Chicago-based organizations to national companies such as Lyft and Spikeball. Our work is grounded in the belief that Northwestern University students have the power to make a visible difference across industries. 

At the same time, CASE is committed to developing our members into strong critical thinkers and communicators. Through client meetings, collaborative problem-solving, and interactive feedback, our student consultants gain practical experience through real-world projects. We also serve as a recruiting resource for students, with multiple office visits, speaker panels, and networking events year-round. 

CASE alumni continue to represent the organization at a wide range of professional companies, including McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Deloitte, Strategy&, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and more.
